History
Named in honor of Signalman First Class Douglas Munro, the Coast Guard's only Medal of Honor recipient, USCGC Munro was commissioned in 2017. The cutter has since excelled in high-profile missions, including joint operations with U.S. Navy vessels to enhance maritime security. Its deployments often focus on illegal fishing enforcement and drug interdiction. Munro's design allows it to operate in remote regions for extended periods, making it a valuable asset for missions in the Pacific. Its contributions to maritime security and its legacy of excellence reflect the courage and dedication of its namesake.
